Regarding the Public Baths, these samples have shown the
water to be "safe and suitable for swimming bath purposes." This
has also, on each occasion, been the report for the Privately owned
Pool, except once when the absence of Chlorine resulted in an unsatisfactory

hand and a new cylinder has been ordered whenever the one in use
has emptied. A subsequent sample when the Chlorine plant was
put into operation proved satisfactory.
